YAMAHA YF200 R1 Final Assembly Fuel: We recommend using 89/91 octane pump gas as these engines run well and tune easily with it. Higher octane race gas, besides being illegal, usually requires the timing to be advanced and carburetor to be leaned out to tune properly which in turn makes the engine run hotter and does not show an increase in power over the pump gas.
